Crisp skin, in a pan
15 minutes · serves 2 · Easy
What you need
- 2 salmon fillets, skin on
- 1 tbsp oil
- Salt
- Lemon
What you do
- 1Dry the skin thoroughly and salt it. Wet skin steams and never crisps.
- 2Oil into a cold non-stick pan, salmon skin-side down, then turn the heat to medium. Starting cold renders the fat gently.
- 3Press it flat for the first 20 seconds so it does not curl. Then leave it, 6 minutes, without touching it.
- 4Turn for 60 seconds only. The middle should still be darker than the edges. Lemon over.
